In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will evaluate whether daridorexant, a DORA sleep medication, can support brain health by promoting the clearance of proteins linked to the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. The trial is preventive and is open to participants who do not have Alzheimer's disease dementia, regardless of whether or not they experience sleep problems.
